Admin note:  Merged three topics into one.

MacBeth, you can post quite a few pictures in a single post.  If multiple posts are necessary just keep then in a single thread.  Helps to keep things organized.  :)

Thanks!

Thanks for putting them together.  It seemed that I would get to a cerain point and I couldn't add any more to the post.  i'd much rather keep all the photos on one post. How do I do that?

Well if you get to a point where you can't add anymore pics then just complete the post and start a new response.

I have yet to max out a single post but I'm sure there is some sort of limit.



BTW, thanks for sharing the pics.  Looks like there is quite a bit more going on in Callahan and Hilliard than many of us thought.

I think that is what I did -- not sure how I did it but the cursor didn't want to move any more.  You can put a lot in if you do it in Microsoft Word, for example, and then paste it.  The problem is that if you want to do something after you've filled up the space - such as add bold face or something --the cursor won't move to the bottom of the post.  One thing I'd like to know.  You said you "merged" three items into one.  Can I do that?

Only the mods can merge threads together.

I'm not sure what's causing your complications then.  You could try sending a private message to Lunican, he is one of the brains behind this machine.

Thanks for info.  At least merging isn't something I should know how to do.  I think I might be able to keep things to one post if I do it in word and paste it.  I could also do photos that way, I think, since they work on what looks like html.  Anyway, we'll see what happens. One of the things I'd like to write about concerns having bingo games.  I'm not sure if that would be allowed here.

Well, the events section is intended to tell about and discuss local events.  So I'd say write about it all you want.  :)
